Cards went on their backs on a flop of 9♦8♣3♣ with Corneliu Popescu being the one at risk for 61,000 in early position against Adrian Constantin on the button.
Corneliu Popescu: 3♦3♥
Adrian Constantin: 8♠8♥
Both players hit a set on the flop, but Constantin had the best one. The situation remained the same after the turn 7♥ and the river 5♣, so Popescu left the tournament area.
Three pairs of cards went on their backs on Table 1, with a first player in middle position all in for 6,300, a second one at risk too for 51,500, and Silviu Baltateanu in the small blind who held the biggest stack.
Middle position player 1: Q♦8♥
Middle position player 2: K♠K♦
Silviu Baltateanu: A♠10♥
The hijack player was on his way to double up after the flop 8♦3♦9♣ and the turn 7♥. But the A♣ landed on the river to give top pair to Baltateanu, who took this big pot and eliminated his two opponents.
Mihai Pancu open-shoved for 3,400 from under the gun, then player to his left raised all in for 9,500. All the other players folded, and both players flipped their cards.
Mihai Pancu: 10♦7♥
Early position player: K♥Q♦
On the board 4♦K♠2♣J♥Q♣, a king landed on the flop, then a queen on the river to give two pair to the early position player. Knowing that he was going to be eliminated, Pancu stood up on the flop on the turn and left.
"All in" Gheorghe Bilea said with his last 15,000 chips in the hijack. Vasile Berciu said the same sentence with 12,500 chips in the small blinds, and both players' cards went on their backs.
Vasile Berciu: K♦Q♠
Gheorghe Bilea: A♥K♥
Bilea asked for diamonds to help his opponent, but none of them came on the 9♣J♣5♠6♥4♣ board, so Berciu was eliminated.
Moments after the only woman of the field Andreia Coman was eliminated, Lucian Banica behind her jammed for 15,400 from the cutoff. Iulian Tataru, who opened from middle position, made the call.
Lucian Banica: A♦J♠
Iulian Tataru: K♣K♠
Even if he hit a jack on a board of 4♣8♥3♥J♣2♥, Banica couldn't do much against Tataru's kings and was eliminated.
